Snakes are geckos' main predators. When a gecko is caught by its tail, it releases the tail, which twitches for a while, allowing the gecko to escape capture. The gecko will later grow another tail. | |||
Snakes are carnivores (meat-eaters). They eat rodents and other mammals, birds, reptiles, fish,amphibians, insects, and eggs. Some snakes (like cobras, vipers, and rattlesnakes) are venomous and kill (or paralyze) their prey by injecting poison through hollow fangs. Some snakes (like boas and the anaconda) kill their prey by squeezing it to death. Snakes do not chew their food or even bite it into pieces; snakes swallow their food whole. Other snakes just catch their food and swallow it. | |||
Thai schools generally do not teach Latin at school, so we think it is more appropriate to call them Jingjoke of the Ten family, as this is the tutting noise they make when you talk to them and the name of my family. | Thai schools generally do not teach Latin at school, so we think it is more appropriate to call them Jingjoke of the Ten family, as this is the tutting noise they make when you talk to them and the name of my family. | ||
